FIFTH TRIAL
[ It's not terribly long, once everything has been found, before Davy Jones heads out to round you all up once more and take you into the theatre. At least plenty of you are around the same area, so it probably doesn't take terribly long.
The ride down to the trial room is the same as ever - a blast of the organ, a slow descent. It's really starting to become clear, though, just how your numbers are decreasing. You're already down three, counting the absence of Chloe, potentially more when you come back up.
The crew of the Dutchman is singing as Jones lets you out into the trial room. ]
To business, passengers. I am about if you need guidance.
[ The circle of podiums is less populated than ever. So many of you are islands now, so to speak.
The song dies down, the waters quiet.
Welcome to your fifth trial.. ]

I think Plumeria would have tried as well, and the longer we talk about this, the more I find it likely that she did.
no subject
Did she share with you what was placed on her device following the motive?
no subject
It was an image of... Of all six of us. Of Freyr, and myself, and our respective retainers. It was posed in the way that a family portrait would be.
She was extremely upset by it. She came to see me in my room on Tuesday night, she was completely distraught.

If it were the case that they attacked each other, then that would be one explanation their respective wounds. They could've definitely tried to go at each other.
[....]
But didn't it also look like her body was laid back? Someone else must've come in and helped reposition her.
no subject
I should have... I should have said something to her. To stop her. I should have...

...I see.
Do you think we're still looking for a third party, then? Someone who...
[This is awful all around.]
no subject
[Zero faltered if only for a moment, quickly clearing his throat and straightening up.]
I remember seeing her distressed over the motive. More so than usual.
no subject
Let's see how things fit together if we take that into consideration. Maybe things will make more sense if Plumeria was the instigator in all of this.
[He doesn't like it, but we can't really afford to turn a blind eye to that possibility.]
no subject
[He's Fine.]
